Drone Roof Inspections in Toronto, ON
From the heritage row houses of Old Toronto to the high-density bungalow blocks of Scarborough, the post-war split-levels in North York, and the lakefront properties in Etobicoke - we cover the whole city. 4K aerial capture, SD card included, owner-reviewed report in 48 hours.
Why Toronto homeowners and contractors choose us
Toronto's roof stock is unusually varied - Victorian and Edwardian heritage homes downtown sit blocks away from 1970s tower blocks, post-war bungalows, and modern infill builds. That mix calls for inspectors who can read all of it.
- Heritage and older housing experience. Cabbagetown, the Annex, Riverdale, and Leslieville have plenty of slate, cedar shake, and aging asphalt roofs that benefit from aerial documentation before any work or sale.
- Tight downtown access without ladders. Narrow lots, semi-detacheds, and zero side-yard properties in Old Toronto are difficult to inspect from the ground - a drone solves that in one flight.
- Condo and tower roof surveys. Property managers in the GTA core use us for annual roof condition surveys to support capex planning and reserve fund studies.
- 48-hour reports with SD card included. No cloud expiry, no monthly login. You own the raw 4K footage outright.
- Sub-249g micro-category operation. We fly sub-250g drones, which Transport Canada classifies as "micro" under the Canadian Aviation Regulations - no pilot certification or drone registration required for this weight class. Quieter and less intrusive than the larger drones competitors use.
- Bookings Mon-Sat. Saturday slots available for owner-occupied homes that need weekend access.

Common inspection scenarios in Toronto
What Toronto property owners and trades typically ask us to document.
Pre-sale documentation on heritage homes
Older Victorian and Edwardian homes in Cabbagetown, the Annex, and Leslieville often have slate, cedar shake, or layered asphalt roofs. Aerial inspection before listing surfaces issues early so they're disclosed honestly - or fixed before showings.
Condo and tower roof condition surveys
Property managers running mid-rise and tower portfolios across downtown and North York commission annual aerial surveys for reserve fund studies, capex planning, and contractor scoping.
Post-storm damage in Scarborough & Etobicoke
After hail or wind events, suburban Toronto homeowners need fast, dated aerial documentation for insurance claims. We can usually be on-site within 24-48 hours and rush a report in 24. Storm response details →
Pre-purchase due diligence
Tight Toronto bidding cycles don't leave time for a full home inspection on every offer. A drone roof inspection gives buyers a clear read on the most expensive component to replace, fast.
